privacy destroyed
... deplorable CLOUD Act....

Quote:Encrypt. Encrypt. Encrypt. Go Dark.

When privacy is criminalized, only criminals have privacy. We got sold out, again

Nothing new , only old stuff now writen on paper

We are slave and we will be forever , accept it , find all holes in law and try to survive

The privacy wars are long since over. We lost. You're not watching the war anymore, you're watching the result.

We lost, because nobody cared even slightly - we've known for well over a decade what the centralised datasilos are up to, and everyone carried on using them. You were in the war, you chose the wrong side. We built alternatives nobody used, and even the architects of those were more interested in petty infighting and personal one upmanship.

We have exactly what we deserve.

We been slowly losing freedoms since 9/11 so much so I starting to think the conspiracy theories might be right all along. Alot others also starting to question their governments and mainstream media.

There is no such thing as "freedom" because it can't be defined objectively. No one is free to do anything they want or free to have a life they desire. Many are not free to use drugs, rent prostitutes, murder, rape, own certain weapons, to gamble, practice alternative religions, clone their children, etc. Many are not free to live without poverty, to have sex with anyone they desire, to be free of a low IQ, to be free of disease, etc. Rather, the freedoms of every person is limited by societal laws as well as the laws of science

The dangerous thing about conspiracy theories is they hold a hint of truth.

Most of you didn't know (or more often, willfully ignored) governmental surveillance until Wikileaks, and later Snowdon leaked a tonne of stuff. But we already knew this for absolute fact years and years before either of them. Cryptome had plenty of documents to prove it all along - they just didn't do PR as well.

But of course, nobody listened, because conspiracy theories took what we knew and ran with it until it became something else...when somebody told you the truth, you were too distracted by conspiracy theorists to notice it. The easiest way to cover something up is to propagate a conspiracy theory based on exactly what you're doing.

Don't buy a smartphone.

Only use Linux Tails.

Only use Tor browser.

Buy a vpn.

Don't use any GPS.

Only use "Hard cash".

Quit Facebook.

Go incognito in Google chrome (It really works)

Buy a tin foil hat (Or two), For an extra layer of protection.


Make Tor and Linux more user-friendly and trendy, If you ever want the young generation to use them.

People could not imagine that big data would become so important and that the value of privacy would become greater. A kind of utopia.

People cannot be the only ones responsible, there are institutions that have their share of responsibility, for letting some companies operating like in the jungle.

Alternatives such as? Linux, Open source, etc? They are fighting each other all the time, and 10 years ago Gnu was not much friendly than now. And even now there are still distros that a newbie can't install alone, such as archlinux.

There is a tagline in the today society saying "Create the problem to then offer the solution"

This, mixed with the future technology for AI, we are done

I am sorry to say but when you see senior people able to use some Linux OS without a problem while when it's about Windows you always hear them saying, Brrrr Brrrr Peace of shit machine
every 5 minutes...

And I think a lot of things in Win 10 come from Linux itself

Microsoft better then Google. They afraid of the government. I think they be going after Google soon.
